It was only the danger end because he didn't move.

The reply seemed to suggest the fielder was running towards the striker end to field the ball?
This looked out. Maybe missing off?

I'm still catching my breath......
That last over of England's innings had only 5 deliveries, but:
-three sixes
-a drop
-a run out (by one of the best fielders in the game)
-the end of a 399-run partnership
-a batsman breaking the record for hitting the most runs as #6
-a batsman getting the 2nd most sixes in an innings
-another batsman getting to his maiden 150
-a declaration (by a conservative captain)
Might very well be the most eventful over ever, doubling the amount of events of the previously most eventful over......
Now, please! Can someone kick me out of this bubble and prove me wrong?

Poor umpiring.

Thought the guy from point fielded it. Might have been cover though.

Nah you're right. It's the man at point. I thought it was cover.
I still think that's Elgar's call, but looks like an easy run and so IDK why Elgar turned it down.

When I'm doing some umpiring at my own crap level (even for Dutch standards it's fairly crap), I honoustly never ever know if it's bat or pad first. So, upon hearing two noises, I simply say 'not out'. I wouldn't be too surprised if umpires at the highest level don't know either. For years and years and years, the verdict would be 'not out', if an umpire had an idea of an inside edge. I can see an umpire, possibly not actively aware of his own reasoning, raising his finger as the batsman can review it.

Umpire a bit a say that.
Bat and pad on the same line.
It is unlikely you'll see the edge.
You may, if lucky, hear the edge as the dominant sound.
Alternatively, if lucky, you may get both sounds together and decide you can't be sure.
You may only hear the sound of ball on pad.
It may be easy with good slow motion cameras but to call it bad umpiring at full speed - no.
